Phonica reaches out to one of the finest names in Chicago for our 129th mix.
Starting off in the 90's playing from cassette tapes with a group of friends under the moniker ‘Chuck Brothers’ Rahaan started to build an extensive house and disco collection that by 1996 would come to define him as one of Chicago’s stand out house and disco DJs. This would of course secure him with residencies at ‘The Spot’ and one of Chicago’s best clubs ‘Buddha Lounge’. A reputation he would cement with gigs all over the globe in the proceeding years also giving him an audience to his skills in production that have seen him release records with reputable labels like Lumberjacks From Hell, Z Records, Hot Biscuit, BBE and more. For this mix the Chicago legend takes us on a trip with over an hour of deep, soulful and funky disco house. We had a brief chat with Rahaan about the mix and what he has coming up!

SABADO 05 de Abril 2025

DIEGO nos dejó bien en claro su peso como DJ de nicho: un selector meticuloso, obsesionado con exponer material distintivo. Abordó el horario central por el camino más difícil, asumiendo los riesgos que implica la originalidad, frente a un público divino, cálido y muy receptivo, que bailó con emoción, haciendo de esta sesión una
experiencia tan gratificante y tan difícil de explicar con palabras.

253 - A Tribute To Phonogramme - mixed by Moodyzwen

Hamburg’s Stimming arrived on the hospitable shores of a freshly cut Audiomatique with the wonderful Buxton Pipes EP.

With releases on Diynamic, Freerange, Terminal M, and Liebe*Detail, Martin Stimming’s career had been boosted by the underground hit Una Pena the previous year and peaked with his debut album Reflections earlier that same year.

Buxton Pipes, the lead track on the EP, was a beautifully reduced, gentle roller that combined textural, shifting filtered percussion, phasing, effected melodies, and a rich sub-room sound design that confirmed Stimming’s talent for working those subliminal zones. Dainty, pretty, and yet totally punchy at the right volumes, it was a genuine slice of ultra-modern micro-post-minimal-house.

Continuing the trippy, time-melting vibe perfectly, Kakusei followed with its pushing array of softened percussion and carefully extended spooky breakdowns. Sliding and squelching through 7 minutes of prime tracky workout territory, it was another stellar addition to the record.

Finally, the skipping Seepferdchen threw a spanner in the otherwise smooth grooves with delicately jacked drum patterns and controlled sub-bassline throwdowns. Super funky, ultimately reduced, and sample-heavy, it made those afterhours carry-ons all the more delicious. Simply superb work from Stimming on Audiomatique.

This mix is a tribute to my dearly departed brother, guru, mentor & Godfather of the UK electronic dance music scene, the legend that is Colin Faver.

For the new kids on the block who don't know who Colin Faver is, he's the reason that you're dancing & enjoying the global dance music scene as we know it.

Rewind to the post punk era of the early 80s. It's 1982 & Colin Faver gives up is job as a commercial graphic artist & is working for a record shop in Walthamstow London called Small Wonder records, who signed the first Cure & Bauhaus singles. It was then when the first wave of New Wave electronic music surfaced & Colin was mixing up electronic music at the New Romantic Institution that was the Camden Palace championing music from Kraftwerk to Afrika Bambaataa to Visage. It was this music that directly inspired the likes of Juan Atkins in Detroit & Frankie Knuckles (RIP) in Chicago, who were without doubt Colin's American counterparts in the birth of House & Techno Music in the mid 80s.

Colin remained the resident at the Camden Palace into the late 80s as well as being resident at Pyramid at Heaven & Jungle at Busbys playing House & Techno as it had never been heard before in the mid 80s. After this came Colin's residency at RIP at Clink Street in 1988, Dungeons in Lea Bridge Road in 1989, Rage at Heaven in 89-90, Knowledge in the early 90s & played at just about every top club in the UK that played dance music.

Colin was a regular DJ on London's Kiss FM when it was no more than a weekend pirate radio station in the mid 80s & held down a weekly radio show once Kiss became legal for the best part of 2 decades.

Colin Faver is the reason I got started in this scene, allowing me to rap with him at the Camden Palace in 1984 & fully taking me under his wing, along with Eddie Richards in early 1986 as their resident House Music rapper, way before I was a DJ in late 87, when these two huge influences became my colleagues on the decks too. I have everything to thank them both for as they were my mentors & influences.

This tribute mix is coincidentally 3:03 long & was mixed using 100% vinyl from the 80s & early 90s, is emotional & has been uploaded unedited, warts & all, with pure love from the heart.

My condolences go out to Colin's long term partner Brenda Russell & all those who loved him. Colin Faver R.I.P.

Beyond The Clouds - A Tribute To Colin Faver by Mr.C

brief biog kind of stuff.... I took the usual avenue into dj’ing for somebody from my generation: proper electro, chicago house then found detroit techno...and never looked back.
I started djing in early 90’s playing parties and just being a very eager young un, willing to play anywhere.. The first proper gig I got was playing at seminal newcastle techno night Bloated, then got involved in a night called curious yellow in newcastle in the late 90’s that brought surgeon, lost’s steve bicknell, james ruskin and space djz amongst others to the toon. not long after that I was one of the residents at reverb, a techno and drum n’bass weekly in newcastle playing alongside carl craig, baby ford, dj bone, mr c, vince watson and many other techno and house luminaries of that era. In that time I dj’d at a fair few parties and clubs around the northeast and further afield, put out a few 12”s then took a break from djing wanting to spend time with family. after a few years off the scene I finally ended up regularly spinning for the signals crew in newcastle, playing old school chicago, detroit techno and H.O.U.S.E.
